One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Centerville battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
